Registration Papers

Hi All
Just purchased a Yamaha Dragster of a mate of mine. Nice bike in good nic but is not registered. Have had many people tell me it is no problem around Chiangmai town as I have the original import papers where the duty was paid etc. Wish to do some of the day trips and longer trips in the north. Can anyone tell me if I will encounter problems north of Chiangmai with the local police. I have noticed most larger rental bikes are not registered as well.

Actually found your book today in Suriwong book centre. The info looks great and has inspired me to get away every weekend I can. Will be trying the Phrao - Chiang Dao loop this weekend as a starter. We have the whole day and I was wondering if there is any side trips to visit a friendly hilltribe village. I have the dragstar so I dont want any dirt roads. I was also hoped to fit in the caves but not sure if I can fit it all in to one day. Will have the Mrs on the back and Im not a fast rider.
Cheers

2. Lisu Thung Khoo is easy to get to & all asphalt. The village is also quite civilized now. A few girls from here work used to traditional Thai massage at the OT Massage, near Pandora, & were all good kids.

Out of Chiang Dao check out the asphalt road to the hill tribe villages to the east. See map P28 in the guidebook. The road from Chiang Dao out to Huay Ko, may well be all asphalt now. Across to Nam Rin & route 1150, it is still dirt.
